Please pardon the dust, we're still settling things around here.
You can find a raw list of all (and potentially very, very old) music under Music Downloads. On this page, I'll present some highlights and recent works.

C64 Song

When we talk about the C64, there's definitely a unique quality to the sound of a real, physical device - something that simply cannot be duplicated by software emulation. For that reason, I set out to get one of these old home computers (which was one of my previously unfulfilled childhood dreams btw.), MIDIfy it courtesy of MSSIAH, and mod it to become part of my musical setup. This song is the first thing I did right after I closed the case and powered it on.

Althought I've never had a C64 as a child I did fool around with them and oh yes, there's nostalgia involved. At the same time I don't think C64 music has to sound the way it did 20 years ago. Hence I took some liberties here, enriching the mix with careful doses of machinedrum goodness and injected some Virii. It's true what they say: The real C64 sounds alive. No two plays of the same piece are 100% identical and it's this margin of error, along with the simple fact that the SID can sound wonderfully fat and rich, that makes many people believe in hardware over emulation. I was sceptical when I started this little project, but now I'm a believer - and I intend to squeeze even more sound out of the ol' box in the future!

Equipment: C64, Fantom G6, Virus TI, Machinedrum.
